Even black grads entering the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields, where employees are both highly sought and highly paid, suffer a 10 percent unemployment rate and a 32 percent underemployment rate.

Damn, that nigga was crying like Nipsey Russell in The Wiz lol.

 
My sister is in the exact situation right now. They'll read her resumes, send emails, and do phone interviews. But the minute they do a face to face they flip the script on her. One of them even tried to get her to cut her dreads, but got beckys running around with hair down they back.

She got a degree in some environmental shit. Working a job at some flower shop doing bouquets for like $8 an hour and bar tending.
 
This is 100% true from my experience. Most to all of the guys in my family have at least 4-year degrees in the technology or engineering field, yet we all had to go through or for the younger ones, are going through some bullshit for our first jobs post-college (underpaid, underemployed or both).

I just look at it this way, companies aren't 'entitled' to give anyone a job, it's up to the candidate to prove his or her worth. We understand the bullshit that we have to go through in this racist ass country, so we come up with a plan to make it work for us and eventually get a position that is worthy of our hard work and intellect.

If you know what you're doing, a foot in the door is all you need to eventually meet your mark.
 
And now a bunch of people are going to start saying "fuck college, i know 2 people who didn't go to college and are making millions. Anyone can do it" lol
 
Seeing news like this is discouraging.You got young blacc brothas & sistas who got degrees and still can't get jobs or are working at whole foods with a bachelors degree.

Goat analogy
 
Let's be honest, beyond having the correct credentials and skills for the job post-college, the other half is knowing the right people.

If you keep your network small and the people in that network are 'limited', you could expect poorer results. my first job out of college in IT was because a family member was good friends with the person who did the recruiting for the company I went to work for. I did my first interview with her and that was great, I had several other interviews beyond that but without that first introduction, who knows what would have happened. I did 9 years at that company all told.

If you go to college expecting it to turn in to a high paying job, for god sakes don't major in environmental studies or sociology. If getting a job is the end goal of college, look into what majors are in demand and do some serious self-examination if you are up to the task and work your ass off in school and network!

 
inb4 someone ignores this:

and if there is a history of job discrimination, where is this mythical "network" going to materialize from?
